Translucent Cerussite on Matrix from Tsumeb Mine

SKU: S_00008

A classic, aesthetic specimen of cerussite from the legendary Tsumeb Mine. The dominant feature is a complex, nearly spherical cluster of intergrown cerussite crystals. Main Features: iconic location; complex, rich crystal growths; excellent contrast with the matrix; classic habit for this deposit. Condition: Very Good - the main cluster of crystals is intact, mostly with complete terminations. Due to the natural brittleness of cerussite and the lattice-like structure of the growths, edge damage may occur.
